A Modern Version of Traditional Yurt Made In The 1970’s.
…By The Deweeses And Their Family Carpenter Friend Joop.
…..AND With Tina DeWeese As Assistant.
…….Notice That Yurt Platform Is Raised Up On Stilts To Be Above Flood Waters!

…. “’This is just beautiful!’ Sylvia says.
….The living image of DeWeese smiles down at her. ‘Thank you,’ he says, ‘I’m glad you like it.’ His tone is all here and now, completely relaxed. I realize that although this is the authentic image of DeWeese himself, it’s also a brand-new person who’s been renewing himself continually and I’m going to have to get to know him all over again.“

DeWeese Homestead, Gallatin Gateway, MT. In /\ Above Photo, notice the Wooden Walkway, which connects to the Stream Bank where I’m standing to take the photo. The Wooden Walkway gives access to the Yurt front door & storage platform, positioned along the right side of the Yurt.
….This Yurt was so successful thru the years that a Second Quite Similar Yurt was constructed nearby. These were low cost rental housing for Deserving Art Students at Montana State University.
…Despite the Super Cold of Montana Winters, a Central Wood burning Stove With Cook Top keeps the inside nice & cozy as needed. The Smoke Flue Pipe, seen at top of Yurt, also contribute to inside heat as it extends, ~4 feet from the Stove, to the roof line.
